For investors seeking meaningful exposure to the mid and small cap space, traditional mid cap and small cap mutual funds are bound by regulatory limits, i.e., requiring a minimum 65% allocation to their respective segments and not permitting short positions.

The fund adopts a flexi-SMID approach, allocating 90–100% to mid and small cap stocks and focusing on high-conviction ideas, and 0–10% to derivatives, large caps, and cash, with a differentiated positioning to deliver a midcap + risk-return profile.

The NFO period of Altiva Equity Ex Top 100 Long Short Fund is 18th May, 2026 to 1st June, 2026
